Database of Biodiversity Data Sources for Conservation Monitoring

Here you can access a database created by the Group in collaboration with Global Wildlife Conservation as part of an inventory of available data sources.

The rationale, methods and conclusions from the inventory are presented in the following paper, freely available online: 
Stephenson, P.J. & Stengel, C. 2020. An inventory of biodiversity data sources for conservation monitoring. PLoS ONE, 15(12): e0242923. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0242923

The attached database includes 5 tables:

Table 1. Global biodiversity data sources of potential value in monitoring biodiversity state.

Table 2. Global data sources of potential value in monitoring pressures and threats to biodiversity.
 
Table 3. Global data sources of potential value in monitoring conservation responses to biodiversity loss.
 
Table 4. Global data sources with multiple uses for biodiversity monitoring.
 
Table 5. Reports synthesizing large biodiversity data sets over time.

This is work in progress. Data managers are encouraged to let us know of any errors or of any other data sources that could be considered for inclusion in the database. Please write to PJ Stephenson at SpeciesMonitoringSG@gmail.com.
